Invalid Status (DCMA Point 9 - "Invalid Dates" Assessment)
SSI Tools Counts:
Tasks (not summaries and not zero duration milestones) with a forecast start/finish date prior to the project’s status date or an actual start/finish date after the project’s status date. The Pass threshold is no more than 0% of the task counted in the population.
The SSI Analysis tools includes a Post Task Status tool to help enforce valid status rules.
Incomplete tasks that have a forecast start/finish date prior to the IMS status date, or has an actual start/finish date beyond the IMS status date are included in this metric. A task should have forecast start and forecast finish dates in the future relative to the status date of the IMS (i.e. if the IMS status date is 8/1/09, the forecast date should be on or after 8/1/09). A task should not have an actual start or actual finish date that is in the future relative to the status date of the IMS (i.e. if the IMS status date is 8/1/09, the actual start or finish date should be on or before 8/1/09, not after 8/1/09). There should not be any invalid dates in the schedule.
